Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 264

On their way back to Ascend Estate, Stefan got a call from Edgar.

Lucinda overheard him telling Edgar, "Give this to Owen and keep a copy for me. I'm going to have it out with Ruby. And also, deliver it to the elders and the wives of the Martinez family."

After hanging up, Lucinda curiously asked him, "What is it?"

He was going to take it to Ruby.

While driving, Stefan responded, "Some stuff Ruby did overseas. I've had people looking into it and gathering intel ever since she got back. Now that we've got everything that we need, it's time to put it to use. Let's just say this will be a real punch in the gut for her."

Before he married Lucinda, people always said that he didn't date or marry anyone because he was waiting for Ruby to come back.

He insisted that he and Ruby weren't what everyone thought, but nobody bought it and thought he was just trying to distract them from the truth.

It seemed people only believed in lies, not the truth.

Since explaining was useless, he stopped bothering about it.

He was a bachelor back then, so a few jokes at his expense didn't matter. He wouldn't go after Ruby just because of that.

But then he married Lucinda, and Ruby came back. She was too cocky, thinking he'd cut her some slack because they knew each other, and dared to mess with Lucinda.

Stefan was going to stick up for his wife. He wouldn't break the law impulsively. He was aiming for the jugular. He'd make Ruby lose everything she cared about, left her with nothing. He'd been preparing for this in the shadows.

"So, Ruby did something overseas that even Owen can't stomach?"

Upon hearing about Ruby, Lucinda's mood seemed to lift a bit.
